EXHIBITION "JAPAN'S POST-WAR METAMORPHOSIS: 1945-1964"

Japan Foundation presents this exhibition in galleries around the world, in this way acquainting people with eleven great artists who have immortalized in photographs post-war Japan.

123 black and white photographs reflect a disturbing postwar period. The photographs are divided into three parts: The consequences of war, Between tradition and modernity and Towards a new Japan ". Randomly as it may seem assigned items, regardless of chronology or authors, reveal much of the most important aspects of that time.

You will see works by Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Kikuji Kawada, Ihei Kimura, Takeyoshi Tanuma, Shomei Tomatsu, Ken Domon, Shigeichi Nagano, Ikko Narahara, Hiroshi Hamaya, Tadahiko Hayashi and Eikoh Hosoe.

Each of these artists had their own style, but they all completed a significant work disclosing the period of history. Visitors to the exhibition will feel the extraordinary power and delight, radiating from the exhibited photographs, which reflect the post-war Japanese society.
